That isn't airborne, Kingpins. At a wedding, in a reception tent or room, how many people would you unthinkingly walk within 1.5m of while talking, laughing etc over the course of the event? I would say literally every one of them. How many of them would you hug and kiss? Not to mention the high traffic in areas where you have to open doors, continually use the same ladle, clink glasses for a cheers, etc etc etc. Frankly, at a wedding reception they are lucky that only 35 of them got infected.

Same thing on a bus. Though I can't fathom how someone might know they never got within 8m of an infection (just perhaps within 8m of a person who was coughing), I guarantee they came within 8m of surfaces that were touched by an infected passenger. Which is why hand hygiene and a self-consciousness about touching one's face has been hammered home to us during the crisis.

It is not airborn. Instead of thinking it is a cover-up and viewing all material through that particular lens you need to also look critically at your own perceptions when they differ from what you are being told, on the offchance that you are wrong. If it helps, consider how implausible it would be to include every single doctor and nurse in Australia in the 'cover-up that it is airborn', because the Prime Minister would be literally drowned out, unable to be heard and even unable to find some air time if he was telling medical professionals something is only transmitted in droplet form when it was in fact airborn. Not everything is a conspiracy, don't allow fear or paranoia to fabricate more things to be scared of than is already necessary.

Stay safe.
